“A Person who cares about the Earth & IT, will Go Green with Green IT”

Green IT• Also called green computing it describes the

study and the using of computer resources in an efficient way.– Energy efficiency– Proper recycling of equipment– Manufacturing

Efficiency

• Reducing the energy consumption of computers and other information systems

– Energy consumption

– Emissions

Proper Recycling of Equipment

• Refurbishing and reusing old computers as well as properly disposing and recycling unwanted computers and other equipment.

– E-waste

Design and Manufacturing

• Manufacturing computers and components with minimal effect on the environment.

• Designing energy-efficient and environmentally sound components, computers, servers, cooling equipment, and data centers

Why Green IT?• Save Money• Save energy • Save in cooling• Reduce long term hardware spend• Reduce carbon emissions • Save space in server room and desktop• Avoid infrastructure upgrades

Who can do Green IT?• Anyone in control of a computer/s and related

hardware• System Administrators• Equipment manufacturers• Computer assemblers• IT sales personnel• IT project contract authors• Project Managers

Can Anyone apply Green IT?• YES• Turn on Screen and Hard disk power

management• Turn on Sleep and / or Hibernation management• Shutdown computers at then end of each day• This saves approximately 60% on power

What is Cloud Computing?• Cloud computing is a model for enabling

convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications, and services.

What is Green Computing?• Green computing is the environmentally

responsible and eco-friendly use of computers and their resources. In broader terms, it is also defined as the study of designing, manufacturing or engineering, using and disposing of computing devices in a way that reduces their environmental impact.

• Green Cloud computing is envisioned to achieve not only efficient processing and utilization of computing infrastructure, but also minimize energy consumption.

Cloud Advantages• Reduce spending on technology infrastructure. Maintain easy

access to information with minimal upfront spending. Pay as you go based on demand.

• Globalize your workforce on the cheap. People worldwide can access the cloud, provided they have an Internet connection.

• Streamline processes. Get more work done in less time with less people.

• Reduce capital costs. There’s no need to spend big money on hardware, software or licensing fees.

• Improve accessibility. You have access anytime, anywhere, making your life so much easier!

• Minimize licensing new software. Stretch and grow without the need to buy expensive software licenses or programs.

• Improve flexibility. You can change direction without serious financial issues at stake.

Green Choices• Turn on Power Management• Set screensavers to None• Buy Energy Star rated computers• Use laptops instead of desktops as they typically

use less power• Turn off peripherals when not in use• Turn off power at power point to stop phantom /

standby loads• Close unused applications • Turn off monitor when not in use• Measure your power consumption

Where is IT saving environment now?

• Electronic banking, electronic receipts, electronic pay slips, Intranets, Wikis, electronic form handling, email instead of post, email instead of fax, duplex printing, saving us from repetitive tasks, decision support systems, electronic commerce, instant messaging, electronic magazines & newspapers, online services such as email, document handling and computer maintenance.

Conclusions• Green IT

– IT is a major power consumer– A significant percentage of the power is

wasted– Opportunities exist to dramatically improve IT

energy efficiency– IT can be a very beneficial part of the Green

movement
